Certain npc abilities are able to be applied to both the hunter and their pet despite being tens of yards apart. From what I have experienced so far, the following npcs can use the listed abilities on a hunter pet and end up affecting the hunter themselves:
- Ferocious Rage Scar's Rend Flesh
- Blackhand Assassin's Gouge
- Blackhand Elite's Head Crack
- Skullsplitter Warrior's Head Crack
Searching the forum, I can see only one other ability mentioned, Theramore Marine's Disarm, from almost 2 years ago.
Procedure:
- Stand outside of normal attack range (30-35 yds)
- Send pet in to attack
- Pet engages npc at range
- Npc uses melee-ranged ability and affects hunter
